Four-time winner Jimenez to swing for more at Hong Kong Open

The 51-year-old Spaniard will be joined by major winners Justin Rose and Graeme McDowell while big-hitting American Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed will also be in action at the Oct. 22-25 event, co-sanctioned by the European and Asian tours.

"What can I say about Hong Kong I haven't said before?" Jimenez said in a statement from the organisers. "I love the tournament and have so much personal history there that it is just a very special week for me.

"Not many players in the history of the game have won the same tournament four times, so every time I go to Fanling I feel I have a great chance to play well and hopefully win.

"I know no-one has won the event five times, so if I can do it again it would be an unbelievable feeling."

Jimenez lifted the title in 2004, 2005, 2012 and 2013 while Australian Scott Hend won the tournament last year.
